  From the look of things --there will be quite a few 1st timers at ORC 2013.  That's great--love to see the growth. If any are bold enough to admit it--I'm just curious where the percentage might come out.

  Also who of us has made it to all the ORC's previous to this ? Again just kinda curious.

  Thanks for replies...... ??? ???  Post it up.

   By the way ---Find Lori or myself at Chinook Bend. We have 200 "Hi My Name Is"  stickers. Might be kinda useful...... ::) ::)
   We have a yellow Dome tent and will arrive Thursday afternoon in a gold Silverado.

Life is short---live it tall.

Be kinder than necessary--- everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent

I'm neither  ;D

Me too.  This will be my second ORC.  I have zero expectations of even equalling, never mind exceeding, last year's 5th place.

First time to ORC, been fishing since age 4ish and kayaking about 10 years. PB fishing fresh & salt off & on all my life but still consider myself a noob kayak fishing in the salt. I haven't had the gear (until now, thank-you ORC) to feel safe. This year, the fish don't have a chance! The Seahorse will be on the prowl! >:D
